There are lots of different ways encounters can go.
If you use one of the semi-agencies that advertise on leolist, anyone from 3538 or 1122 or west coast angels, for instance, you'll exchange a few texts with a handler, they'll tell you a building address, you'll text again a couple minutes before your appointment time, and then they'll check with the lady and make sure she's ready and then they'll give you the buzzer #. You'll buzz, she'll let you in, you go up, knock quietly on the door (although she'll probably be watching and let you in when you get to the door).
You'll say hi, go take a quick shower, and then generally you'd pay, or at least leave the cash out somewhere she can see it. Sometimes they'll count it and call their handler back (BOA in Nanaimo does this). Then fun time commences. Sometimes if you're a repeat you can pay at the end. I have almost forgotten to pay at least once, though, so it's safer just to put it out.
You can also leave more money at the end for a tip if you like. For me this is a lot more likely if I pay at the end, though, or if it's someone I've seen before and I know I'll have a good time with I'll just give more up-front.
Unless you're at an asian micro, if you see anyone else in the suite when you go in, just leave. Some of the micros do have a guy in the suite with, usually, multiple ladies. It's weird but it's how they roll.
VPD doesn't give a shit about prostitution and you won't get stung in Vancouver itself. I suppose it's possible in RCMP territory. Stick to reviewed agencies or solo ladies and you'll be fine. Just remember the rules:
- 99.999% of all asian ads use fake pictures, usually really fake. They aren't 21, they're 38. At least.
- if someone is putting out a price lower than everyone else, there's a reason for that
- if an ad emphasizes "safe", service will be limited
- there are a lot of scam ads and fake pictures, especially later at night
- keep your wallet and phone and clothes with you, and if you see anything that seems really off or dangerous at any point just walk away. It's your money and your safety.
